Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid discussing Neymar-Bale swap deal

Neymar and Bale

Neymar's camp is trying to figure out a way to solve their peculiar situation by engineering a swap deal that will see Gareth Bale heading to Paris Saint-Germain from Real Madrid and Neymar going the other way.

The Brazilian is desperate to move from Paris Saint-Germain and Zinedine Zidane confirmed yesterday that the club is willing to let go of Bale at the earliest.

Zidane said,

"Bale was left out because the club are trying to sell him. If he can go tomorrow, it would be better.

"It's nothing personal, I don't have anything against Bale, but I have to make decisions. There comes a time when it's time to change and it's good for everyone to go their separate ways.

"Leaving is the decision of the coach, and also the player, who knows the situation."

Bale's camp did not take well to Zizou's ruthless comments and Bale's agent hit back, calling Zidane a disgrace.

"If and when Gareth goes it will be because it is in the best interest of Gareth and nothing to do with Zidane pushing."

"He's still one of the best players in the world, one of the top five, and his future will continue at a great club."
